Farmers to stage go-slow convoy in Nancy, France, and protest at Regional Council buildings, Oct. 9. Traffic, business disruptions likely.
Unionized farmers from France's Meurthe-et-Moselle Region plan to stage go-slow convoys with agricultural vehicles in Nancy, Lorraine Region, Oct. 9. The purpose of the action is to denounce the Regional Council's policies and promote several agriculture-related demands. Participants will gather at Boulevard Lobau before proceeding to the Departmental Directorate of Territories, Place des Ducs de Bar, 10:00-13:00.
Local authorities will likely deploy enhanced security to manage traffic disruptions. The convoy operation will probably prompt significant congestion in the city center. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
Allow extra time for travel in Nancy Oct. 9. Reconfirm all business appointments with the Regional Council while the planned demonstration is taking place. Heed the instructions of local police.
